New submission from Micah:
When running the attached example test dummy objects are created during setUp
and destructed at the end of a passing test but when a test fails the dummy
object that was created in setUp fails to deconstruct. This leads to cascading
errors when writing integration tests where having a "ghost" object sitting in
the background and listening to messages is detrimental.
This behavior became apparent when I was writing integration tests making use
of a signalling package so I pulled everything that wasn't base python to see
if the bug was reproduced and it was. The object that failed to deconstruct
when the test failed(0x000001CA971F6208) deconstructs at the end of the entire
testcase while the object declared within the test function
itself(0x000001CA971F62B0) deconstructs as soon as the test fails out.
The output of the test that I ran was this:
> python -m unittest test_bug.py
test_fail (test_bug.TestBug)
Created <test_bug.DummyClass object at 0x000001CA971F6208>
